2:01 am
german chancellor seems to have lost face in members abilities to work together as talks and her second day at stake is the trillion euro funding for the club with countries battling over whether the block needs to tighten its belt or pour in more cash pushing hardest for cuts is britain's prime minister as sarah ferguson now explains. still a lot of wrangling going on over the sea budget as the talks continue of course the countries like britain like the netherlands that have very much pushing for the cuts are up against the other side of the euro zone countries such as great such as spain really need that money and so the mall cuts that they managed to achieve within the budget itself the less likely it is that the european parliament will appreciate that and so cause you can see these talks even though they've taken say much time and effort ultimately ending in failure and as the german chancellor angela merkel has pointed out there's
2:02 am
a very real possibility here that there will simply be a case of no deal when it comes to the budget and we'll see this argument this discussion dragging on well into next year's really at the moment the pitch is that you're getting is that the whole thing just seems to be in a bit of a mess in europe as a whole has really seem to lost his vision recently you know you see these huge protests sweeping across the whole of the year is a very very big divide widening all the time and very much again this is mirrored in what's happening at the east summit now are you getting a picture of a t.t. europe you've got the countries at the moment that is going through this negotiating table that has historically contributed much more in britain is amongst those countries and of the men you now call countries like greece and spain who are absolutely needing this budget to be passed without these cuts taking place britain's not alone for calling on these cuts cameron as i said very much trying to
2:03 am
helm this flights. have been calling for these cuts even if david cameron was to get exactly what he wanted from this e.u. summit meeting as they say he might win the battle he still has to fight the war and the war is here it seems britain's membership with in the has never been in question as we've been finding out speaking to people in the takes least. witi security and all the added perks it was once the club everyone wanted to be a part of that is the easy budget talks are underway in brussels britain's place within the year opinion has never before seen so uncertain. with support for the flagging we've come to one of the u.k.'s top members clubs to find out just how you run a successful club and more importantly how do you keep those members happy i think the key thing to be successful in the members club is to listen. i think if you
2:04 am
start with listening listening to your membership and what they're looking for you've got to educate them sometimes you've got to inspire them right you've got to build long term relationships based on loyalty and honesty but fundamentally you need to have a vision. your visions become blurred in recent times as reality has set in huge unemployment to sweat the e.u. as a stereotype hits hard and large scale protests and now a common occurrence in britain an anti e.u. political party ukip has seen a rise in support from people who feel britain would now be better going it alone my party you kind of plan this party is quite happy with friendship cooperation and try which is the way that this has been sold to the british people over the decades but it's not about that it's always been about creating a centralized political state united states of europe in a sari in reality if not in nine and that's where it's going wrong because that isn't what people want to see just what do you people once thirty conducted it
2:05 am
saying many referendum asking the british people if they were given the vote today whether they'd vote in all out i'd like britain to be part of europe it's good for trade it's good for business and if we're outside of it then we're going to resell it's just a lot easier when everything is in the u. n. no passports needed. england's doing great on its own outside of the e.u. i don't think we should be in the e.u. because that way we'd be free to make up our own laws and follow them ourselves the process and minuses there's no absolute answer to that i feel at ease results were inconclusive it seems whether you're the prime min. you are a skeptic a member of the public or just a reporter trying to judge the outcome of a possible future referendum is next to impossible right now the recent newspaper poll found more than half of those asked would vote to leave the e.u. in a referendum what's clear is that if britain is to remain a part of the e.u.
2:06 am
things are going to have to change how do you keep everyone happy or that's the trick it's a trick and a magic not keeping everyone happy is or treating them as individuals not true as numbers whether it's the sums of money finally agreed upon in the budget debate all the final count of the referendum should the u.k. have one when it comes to persons future in the euro club numbers it's clear will play a very big part sarah r.t. london. david cameron has warned he could veto the e.u. budget if the numbers are not to his liking but stephen walt from the u.k. independence party says the whole you are project has already failed. this is a battle between the rich and the poor but actually it's the rich who are the brussels mandarins demanding more for themselves more money for them to spend and it's the poor people of europe the fifty percent unemployed youth in spain those
2:07 am
starving in greece the people rioting in france and portugal are the ones that are suffering for the greed of the brussels mandarin but what is changing is actually the people of europe are finally waking up that this is a huge battle between them and this political elite who are demanding more from them every single day whilst protecting their own interests we are not helping the public of greece somewhere not helping but jobs being lost in the u.k. by defending a system that is palpable he failed and will has no real way of actually achieving growth for the european continent in the future and while eve members had a lower finances refugees seeking a better life than one of its richest states could be in for a rude awakening migrants in germany find they are forced into social isolation with very few rights to protect them i will explain more later in the program. why area that cash strapped e.u. leaders are being forced to not let their guard down as on defense and security the european parliament's voted through
2:08 am
a resolution to keep national militaries at full strength as bullyboy go explains the warning is that reducing defense budgets could lead to the strategic decline. defense is giving the european union sleepless nights with the book still reeling from an economic heart attack it's no surprise that its combined military strength has taken a hit now i mean them brought souls have approved a resolution saying that you must respond to growing strategic changes and threats to global security and make full use of all existing means including military ones to secure peace and security for its citizens this means a new operational headquarters is on the cards and that the bosses will have the authority to jump into all types of crises including what it calls high intensity conflicts otherwise known as war it's a question of business as well your m.p.
2:09 am
stressed that building up europe's capabilities would save and even create jobs pumping more investment into the military industry not all member states are going to be jumping for joy over the plans the more ambitious common security and defense policy could leave britain between a rock and a hard place the u.k. could end up getting dragged into military campaigns that it has no interest in joining. british m.p. david campbell bannerman voted against the move accusing brussels of encroaching on sovereignty by expecting states to relinquish control of fans and security decisions. it really does trespass international responsibilities for the feds and it's talking about you looking after its citizens it's a direct assault on sovereignty as i said this really is about politics rather than the military this is about actually furthering the cause of it one united states
2:10 am
and europe because they want a single army a single the friends industry they want control for the part of their foreign policy of their own to involved in they want to get in for the high intensity conflicts in their terminology and that means war in my terminology they want to be involved in wars and to commit of soldiers and. navy people into these kind of conflicts and that is not acceptable. doesn't it is slowly recovering after eight days of fierce israeli bombardment with the fragile cease fire between israel and hamas now in its second day but the details of the deal to allow the openings of crossings are still to be to go she added as israel opposes hamas' demands for a complete lifting of the border blockade. operation pillar of the fans was hailed by israeli officials as surgical and targeting only militants but refugee camps media compounds and government buildings were hit during the assault from air and
2:11 am
sea killing one hundred sixty one palestinians while hamas rocket attacks killed six israelis palestinian health officials and human rights activists say more than two thirds of the gaza victims killed were civilians almost half of them children which israel disputes. did the most possible not to hurt the civilians what we did is we pinpointed our operation just to the terrorist leaders and to their army and the ammunition but i do agree that they were once in a while there were civilian cattle casualties and we feel very bad about it but as you know this is not an easy operation no military operation is but by any international standard the collateral damage here is pretty minimal amounts of civilians who die it's hard to say this way it sounds very bad but it could have been much much worse if we weren't so surgical and if our pilots were not given instructions to be very very precise and to aim is specially at the military
2:12 am
terrorist leaders even though with the cease fire now in effect getting back to normal life is a struggle for residents in gaza with restrictions on the movement of people in the good still in place a spokesman for the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees chris gunness says the people of gaza will never have decent living conditions until the blockade is lifted. even before the current upsurge in financing there was a crisis in almost every aspect of life and. now it was crisis of education we are in the process of building hundred new schools because there was a cute overcrowding in schools in gaza there is a crisis of public health because for example ninety percent of all war in gaza is unthinkable millions of liters of rules but flowing into the sea here
2:13 am
because the sewage system is not functional it's not on channel and the list goes on there's a crisis as i say it nearly every aspect of life the economically it's are not good but we have to see what is going to happen as far as that walk me through she was concerned we always call for the blockade to be lifted you said that it's a collective punishment of one point six one point seven million people it has to end and we have to see what's in this new arrangement has been decided in relation to the blockade we hope it's good news for the people of gaza. yes doing your job treating the wounded can land you in jail in bahrain after the break how doctors are punished for helping injured anti regime protesters as the country brushes off human rights condemnation with the help of powerful foreign backing. is the legacy no one should be proud of keeps of scrap metal littering pristine
